We performed a comparison between Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks vs Trend Micro Apex One based on our users’ reviews in four categories. After reading all of the collected data, you can find our conclusion below.
Comparison Results: Users of both solutions were satisfied with deployments, features, and technical support. However, users seem to favor Cortex XDR due to its affordable price.
"Forensics is a valuable feature of Fortinet FortiEDR."
"The most valuable feature is the analysis, because of the beta structure."
"The stability is very good."
"Fortinet FortiEDR's firewalling, rule creation, monitoring, and inspection profiles are great."
"I like FortiClient EMS. FortiEDR has a lot of great features like lockdown mode, remote wipes, and encryption. I can set malware outbreak policies and controls for detecting abnormalities. You can also simulate phishing attacks."
"Ability to get forensics details and also memory exfiltration."
"he solution is an anti-malware product that integrates well with other vendor products such as firewalls, SIEM, etc. It captures threat intelligence and gives you better visibility. The product also has sandboxing features."
"Impressive detection capabilities"
"The behavior-based detection feature is valuable."
"Their XDR agent and their behavioral indicators of compromise (BIOC) are pretty nice. Their managed threat hunting is also pretty nice. They also have WildFire, which is a service for actively looking for malware. It's quite useful."
"We can visualize and control the activities in the environment from anywhere."
"It's a nice product that's stable and scalable."
"One thing that I like about Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks, it is detecting all the suspicious or malicious binaries, and it has integration with Palo Alto Firewall."
"If the user leaves our premises or network, Palo Alto Traps will still be on that endpoint and will still apply our policies."
"It is easy to use."
"Stability is a primary factor, and then there's the ease of distribution and policy management."
"The product has proven to be very flexible over the years that we have had it."
"The most valuable features are reporting and where we have the ability to report back and provide information when an item is quarantined or not quarantined."
"The antivirus itself is also lightweight. It does not hamper the performance. It is not resource-hungry. It does not impact the overall performance of the device. It is just there, and it is easy to use."
"It's a good solution, and they have something called Suite incorporating many, many engines like encryption, GLB, anti-virus."
"I believe that optimization is a really good feature on the front side."
"The most valuable feature is the behavior monitoring."
"I can run a full scan and it won't cost too much in terms of resources, which is good."
"I am impressed with the product's antivirus and malware application control."
"I would like the solution to extend beyond endpoint protection and include other attack surfaces such as other network components."
"FortiEDR can be improved by providing more detailed reporting."
"We find the solution to be a bit expensive."
"Cannot be used on mobile devices with a secure connection."
"The EDR console should have more extensive reporting. You shouldn't need to purchase FortiAnalyzer. It should be included in the EDR part. The security adviser cloud platform could be improved with more options for exclusive or intensive rules for devices."
"Once, we had an event that was locked and blocked, but information about it came to us two or three days later."
"To improve Fortinet, we need to see more features and technology areas at the endpoint level introduced."
"We'd like to see more one-to-one product presentations for the distribution channels."
"The connection to the internet has not performed as expected."
"It's very time-consuming to log support issues and the people that answer the tickets aren't very knowledgeable."
"Cortex XDR should have a lightweight agent, and the agent size should not be heavy."
"Previously, the endpoint would leave the environment, not being on our VPN, essentially unable to interact with the server to upload files. It was unable to retrieve new file verdicts. It was using a thing called "local analysis" to determine if something was a malicious file or not. There was no dynamic analysis."
"Impact on system performance is horrible, adding a lot of delays for users."
"It is an enterprise-level solution. Its price could be less expensive."
"The encryption is not up to the mark."
"Cortex XDR could be improved with more GUI features."
"The portal is a little bit slow in loading. The cloud portal or management control should be a little faster. There seems to be a lot of load on their servers over there. Maybe they are using one server for multiple customers. It would be great if they can increase server performance in the cloud. Its technical support and reporting can be improved. There is no proper reporting, and there is no PDF or things like that. They should include detailed reporting. An attack happened at a client's site, but we couldn't get the report on the same day. We were unable to provide a detailed report to our client. We approached the technical support, and even they didn't give proper answers. They need to improve the reporting capabilities, or the technical team should support us in providing these reports. They should include reporting in the solution. They should also insert sandbox analysis in Apex One."
"The tool needs to improve its dashboard so that all the products can be managed from a single console."
"It should have a single agent as competitors are offering."
"The integration capabilities of the solution could be improved."
"We have had some false positives with One Endpoint Security's ransomware detection. We received an alert, but it wasn't a ransomware attack. When we did an investigation, we found it was only malware."
"One of Trend Micro's weaknesses is its high resource utilization."
"We're actually looking to upgrade to more sophisticated ADL products. We need a more sophisticated endpoint. We need to have the ability to automate those instant response processes."
"We have to manually log in to the machines and give them an update command."
